New this week on Medievalists.net

We have been busy adding more material to the main Medievalists.net website. This includes:

Interview with Tommaso di Carpegna - We interview the author of The Man Who Believe He Was King of France: A True Medieval Tale about how he came across this fascinating tale of a 14th century Italian merchant who believed he was the true heir to the French crown.

Interview with Vicki Ellen Szabo - Szabo’s latest book Monstrous Fishes and the Mead-Dark Sea: Whaling in the Medieval North Atlantic, examines a topic rarely dealt with by medieval historians. We talk with her about her research on whales during the Middle Ages.

Travel Guide to Carcassonne - Our first travel guide, we offer information, videos and links about what to see at this city in Southern France, famous for its historical beauty and its role in the Albigensian Crusades
